Kushner reportedly used a private email address to communicate with top White House officials
Business Insider SONAM SHETH Sep 24th 2017 5:02PM Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, set up a private email address last December and has been using it to discuss official government business with other administration officials, Politico reported on Sunday. Among others, Kushner communicated with prominent current and former aides including previous chief of staff Reince Priebus, former chief strategist Steve Bannon, senior economic adviser Gary Cohn, and spokesman Josh Raffel. Sources told Politico that topics discussed primarily had to do with "media coverage, event planning and other business." The revelations about Kushner's use of a private email account comes following a harsh presidential campaign during which Trump repeatedly lambasted Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for using a private email server when she was Secretary of State. Kushner's lawyer downplayed the significance of his client's actions, telling Politico, "Mr. Kushner uses his White House email address to conduct White House business." "Fewer than 100 emails from January through August were either sent to or returned by Mr. Kushner to colleagues in the White House from his personal email account," he added. "These usually forwarded news articles or political commentary and most often occurred when someone initiated the exchange by sending an email to his personal rather than his White House address." Kushner's interactions through his private email account were not limited to other administration and government officials. Politico found that the senior adviser also communicated with "acquaintances" outside the government about White House business, citing recipients of those messages and some White House colleagues. Though the practice of using a private email server for government matters raises ethical questions, it is not in itself illegal unless an individual knowingly discloses classified information to people unauthorized to view it. "We don't prosecute people for inadvertently exposing classified info, which is why [former FBI director James] Comey's decision not to prosecute Clinton didn't surprise me," wrote former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti. Kushner, who spearheaded the Trump campaign's data operation, is currently the focus of several investigations into whether the campaign colluded with Russia to tip the 2016 election in Trump's favor. Among other things, special counsel Robert Mueller is scrutinizing Kushner's contacts with Russia's former ambassador to the US, Sergey Kislyak, and the Kremlin-connected head of Russia's Vnesheconombank, Sergey Gorkov. linkMy, my, my....................

So someone sent him a political article to his personal email address and it's his fault, completely different. In an article I saw earlier he then forwarded these to his regular White House email so they would be documented and recorded or something like that. Big difference. Nothing was classified, nothing was being covered up, no trying to destroy hard drives etc. it sounds like he did what he was supposed to do by forwarding it to be backed up. Not a fan but I think someone is trying to make something out of nothing. If he was conducting a bunch of White House business like this then yes but it's 100 in 8 months. Vs thousands and trying to cover it up. I am pretty sure he gets hundreds of emails a day.

Not only a huge difference private email vs. private email server (that at least the writer of this piece was decent enough to call HRC's what it was) Did HRC ever forward any of her classified emails to her official address? Nope. But that's okay. Knowing that she'll never see the inside of the White House again is enough for me, although I do hope she decides to run again.  In Kushner's case, Lowell said, the emails to and from his private account usually involved "forwarded news articles or political commentary and most often occurred when someone initiated the exchange by sending an email to his personal, rather than his White House, address. The attorney said Kushner, a key aide to Trump, uses his White House address to discuss White House business and that any non-personal emails were forwarded to his official account and "all have been preserved in any event." Were Hillary's emails preserved in any way? Nope. She wiped her server before turning it over to the FBI. ("like with a cloth, or something?") You too can get your own cloth or something.

How do you know he doesn't employ security software to "wipe" the server? You have his word? His lawyer said so? Oh, OK. Remember, this is also the guy who "forgot" to include a few things on his financial disclosures. Y'all were so quick to disbelieve Hillary when she said the deleted emails were about inconsequential, personal things, but if Kushner says so, then he's totally telling the truth. As always, IOKIYAR. |

"These usually forwarded news articles or political commentary and most often occurred when someone initiated the exchange by sending an email to his personal rather than his White House address." Kushner's interactions through his private email account were not limited to other administration and government officials. Politico found that the senior adviser also communicated with "acquaintances" outside the government about White House business, citing recipients of those messages and some White House colleagues. 'Fewer than' 'usually forwarded' 'the senior advisor also communicated with "acquaintances" outside the government' all qualifying statements, however that does not absolve him from any error in judgement. Considering that HRC's emails were such a issue during the campaign, it was stupid, stupid, stupid of him to used a personal email account. And since it was a private email account, there is no way to verify the Administration's claims. And, since this Administration has such a history of lying, it is not unusual for those of us whose trust has been broken to question the excuses. It is okay, appropriate, and necessary to question anything our current administration puts forth. If they are so innocent in all of their actions, then open up the transparency and reveal all. Instead, they continually divert attention, and blowback to HRC, or standing for the flag, or any other inexcusable actions. "Me thinks they protest too much" |

It is getting better!! At Least 6 White House Advisers Used Private Email Accounts WASHINGTON — At least six of President Trump’s closest advisers occasionally used private email addresses to discuss White House matters, current and former officials said on Monday. The disclosures came a day after news surfaced that Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and adviser, used a private email account to send or receive about 100 work-related emails during the administration’s first seven months. But Mr. Kushner was not alone. Stephen K. Bannon, the former chief White House strategist, and Reince Priebus, the former chief of staff, also occasionally used private email addresses. Other advisers, including Gary D. Cohn and Stephen Miller, sent or received at least a few emails on personal accounts, officials said. Ivanka Trump, the president’s elder daughter, who is married to Mr. Kushner, used a private account when she acted as an unpaid adviser in the first months of the administration, Newsweek reported Monday. Administration officials acknowledged that she also occasionally did so when she formally became a White House adviser. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter with reporters. Officials are supposed to use government emails for their official duties so their conversations are available to the public and those conducting oversight. But it is not illegal for White House officials to use private email accounts as long as they forward work-related messages to their work accounts so they can be preserved. During the 2016 presidential race, Mr. Trump repeatedly harped on Hillary Clinton’s use of a private account as secretary of state, making it a centerpiece of his campaign and using it to paint her as untrustworthy. “We must not let her take her criminal scheme into the Oval Office,” Mr. Trump said last year. His campaign rallies often boiled over with chants of “Lock her up!” More at the link....... www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/at-least-6-white-house-advisers-used-private-email-accounts/ar-AAssHOF?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartanntp |
